Abstract: The method involves acquiring images (IM) representing night road scenes by utilizing a black and white sensor of a camera (10) installed in a vehicle. Zones corresponding to light sources are extracted from the images, where the light sources correspond to signaling lights of another vehicle or to a headlight (13) of the former vehicle. Types of the light sources are discriminated based on the distribution of light intensity levels in the zones. Switching of the headlight from a full or high beam mode to a low beam mode is controlled based on the discrimination. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for controlling an automatic switching of a headlight of a motor vehicle (2) an information storing unit for storing a program executed for implementing a headlight automatic switching controlling method (3) a computer program comprising instruction sequences.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a screw connection point (1) on the periphery (34) of a hollow section (7), that is expanded by a high-pressure fluid. An attachment (17, 31) comprising a bore (18) with an inner thread is mounted on the hollow section (7) in the hydroforming mould (2) and a hole is then made in the hollow section (7) in alignment with the bore (18). The aim of the invention is to produce a durable screw connection point (1) on the periphery (34) of a hollow section (7) in a simple and reliable process. To achieve this, the attachment (17, 31) is advanced towards the hollow section (7) with the aid of an electrode (11, 30) that is integrated into the hydroforming mould (2). The attachment (17, 31) is resistance welded to the hollow section (7) by means of the electrode (11, 30), once said attachment has been placed on the mould relief (5) in the vicinity of the screw connection point (1) to be created.

Abstract: A technique can recover from motor stalls caused by misalignment of motor position sensors such as Hall-effect sensors. In a normal operating mode, a motor controller provides motor drive current to the motor windings based on the sensor signals according to a normal commutation sequence, and monitors for occurrence of a motor stall condition. Upon detecting the motor stall condition, the motor controller first momentarily drives the windings according to one of an advanced commutation state and a delayed commutation state each adjacent to the given commutation state in the normal commutation sequence, and determines whether the motor stall condition persists. If the stall condition persists, then the motor controller next momentarily drives the windings according to the other of the advanced commutation state and the delayed commutation state. By this action, the controller attempts operation at both preceding and succeeding portions of the torque characteristic, such that operation with increased torque is ensured even though the direction of the sensor misalignment is unknown.
